Would love love loooove a chance to win a much needed water colour lesson
Wow! I’ve wanted to take this class, and just couldn’t manage it right now. Winning a space would be lovely. It looks like so much beautiful fun.
I’ve always wanted to learn water color painting, and this sounds perfect. Sounds like my pace and style.
Listening to Fred talk was so reassuring to me where I am with “Spark” I have found that this time around I need to think through what I am going to do and when I am ready to share . So much to learn from this man it would be wonderful.
I’ve been eyeing this one for a while. So incredibly lovely. Just looking at his work calms me. I love watercolors and carry a kit with a waterbrush everywhere, but would love to learn to better utilize it. I’ve been novice at it for a long time and would like to teach my daughter. Thank you for the opportunity regardless.
I would love to take another one of Fred’s classes! Thanks for the chance for a free class, Carla!
oh I never had a class about watercolours. would be really great to learn more about this technique! love to join the class!!!
This class looks very interesting, just getting into watercolour painting so I think the class has a lot to offer!

It would be wonderful to take Fred’s class and think about winter as I am currently cooking to death in South Australia. Tipped to be 41 degrees c today but don’t think we’ll quite make it.
Oh How wonderful to have an opportunity to win a watercolor class. Thanks Carla! Have a fantastic Valentines!
Sounds like a wonderful opportunity.
This sounds great! Thanks for the opportunity!
This class looked so interesting to me. Would be wonderful to win!
Love using watercolor – thanks for the great opportunity to win 😊 would love to learn from Fred
Painting tea and birch trees! Yes please!
What a lovely giveaway.) I have wanted to explore working with watercolor for quite sometime & really enjoyed the video with Fred & his approach !
Thank you for this chance!
Happy St Valentine to you all. I’m in hurry to go out and see beautiful winter wonderland. What if I won the phantastic giveaway of Fred and could paint it?
That would be just a wonder, too. Thanks for this opportunity
Hi carla, what a nice gesture, thanks for the chance.
Are you able to post to WordPress from an iPad?
Ooh! This class sounds so very lovely – but out of my budget at the moment. Thanks for the chance to win a place.
Oh yes!! I would like that class! I am ready to win! Pick ME!!!
I adore everybody who is able to work with watercolors like Fred does. His colors are so bright and shiny. I would love to take the workshop. Winter in watercolor sounds lovely.
Thank you for the wonderful Valentine’s opportunity! I would love the chance to watercolor this crazy Seattle winter.
I’d love to win this. Thank you!
This class looks very tempting!
Will the Fred Lisaius classes be offered again in the future? I didn’t take the previous ones! Or can one jump in at any time?
oh I hesitated to join this goup .. by the way to win it is as well a good opportunity ..thanks to Carla and the teacher .. andrea fotoSH (fb) from Northgermany
Looks like a fabulous class!
What a great gift to Valentine’s day. I hope I will win !!
Fred’s paintings are pure beauty! Would love to win that class!
Love his relaxed style. 😉
Wow, this class looks great! I have not worked with watercolors.. yet! The paintings are looking so soft and beautiful! And Fred seems to be sooooo friendly and so patience (just like you and the other teachers you are working with :)).
So fingers crossed!
Smiles from Belgium, Saskia 🙂
I’ve never taken a watercolor class, except for what you have taught in Year of the Fairytale, I am loving playing around with my water colors. More lesson would be fabulous!
Yes, this would be the right Thing for now, for me. Thank you.
I know Fred Lisaius as a great teacher from Summer Art Camp and to do a whole class with him would be fabulos!
Yes pLease! This is such a generous offering!!!! Thank you for the opportunity to have a Fred class!!!! 🐶❤️
Wow, thank you Carla! This would be a great opportunity for me to practice my painting techniques.
I would love to win!
In deep gratitude, Liza Jane
It would be completely awesome to win a spot in Fred’s watercolor class! I love his style and would love to learn from him. Thanks for this opportunity to win this class 🙂
what wonderful things he has to say…. 🙂
Would be great to learn some watercolor techniques!
I’ve always wanted to learn more Patience with watercolors. Looks like Fred could be the guy to steer me through my ocd control freak one as and show me how too embrace the spontaneity of watercolors. Ty Carla!
Winning this would be just what I need as an antidote to this particular winter’s doldrums & worse. Thanks for this opportunity, Carla.
AmaZing Opportinity. Thank you.
I would love to be able to take this last class of Fred’s. He takes the fear out of putting brush and paint to paper. The techniques he uses and the resulting art he creates gives a jumping off point for me to continue to paint in a loose and relaxed way. That’s fabulous.
Please pick me. Thanks to both you Carla and Fred for everything you offer.
That would make my day for sure. I would love to take this class with Fred. Thanks.
What a wonderful experience that would be! Thanks for a chance to win.
This looks wonderful! I would love to take this class!
I would love this class! I love this simple style and with instructions maybe I could do it!
Ohhh… this looks like a yummy class… with an easy going instructor. I would love to win a spot in this class and take my watercolors up a notch! 🙂
This will be my first class with you and I am truly looking forward to it. I wanted to take Watercolor in college but didn’t like the professor so pass it up. I always regretted that I didn’t have the experience. I’ve dabbled but am really anxious to learn!!!
I’d love to do this class. I’ve been exploring watercolors since I got back to painting last year. The natural quality of watercolor is what attracts me most, like Fred pointed out in the video: it’s basically pigments and water. Thanks for the giveaway!
It would be great to do another online class. Thanks for the offer!
This would be loads of fun! I have taken two of your other classes but not a painting one yet….I’d love to be able to take this!!
I would love to win this class…Such beautiful pictures and thank you for a chance to win.

I would love to win a class wth Fred. It looks like fun and a great way to get more in control of watercolours.
I took Fred’s class in the summer and loved it. Unfortunately my budget doesn’t leave any room for another class so soon. I’d love to win a session with Fred.
Wow, what a cool giveaway! I am pretty rough around the edges with watercolor, so this would be a great class for me.
What a great opportunity – and a great season to choose! I admit, watercolors are very daunting to me, but from what I’ve heard and read about the instructor he might be the person to explore it with. 🙂
I love Fred Lisaius work. Thanks for the opportunity to win a class.
Please put my name in the hat to win a spot in Fred’s watercolor class. Thanks.

is an exciting opportunity to perhaps win a chance to take the class. Thanks for
the hope!
I have to tell you though I am a bit dismayed that your blog said this ” is beginning his last class of his “Painting Through the Seasons” series on Monday!” I was hoping to have my act together by spring? no more classes? 😕 will videos be available for purchase?
Hooray! Happy Valentine’s Day to one of us, huh? I’ve been intrigued by Fred’s videos highlighting his classes and unfortunately have not been able to join in yet, so I cherish the chance to win a spot in his class!! I adore watercolors and could benefit from some formal training. Love his easy going personality that shows in his videos. Thanks Carla for all that you bring to us. Cheers-Darlene
What a generous give-away!
Fred is an inspiration. I hope I win his class.
